Next shows in Paris ... Green Day , Moby , The Ting Tings ....

Got some news today :

Moby will be back in Paris for a show @ La Cigale on July 1st.
The Ting Tings after playing 2 sold-out shows @ Bataclan will play a private show @ Studio SFR on May 11th.

and ... GREEN DAY will be in Paris beginning of May to promote their new cd and they will play a PRIVATE SHOW on May the 11th. For the moment I can't tell you where but stay tuned to ROCKERPARIS for infos.

Otherwise in an interview Ian McLagan said that The Faces reunion won't happen this year because of Rod Stewart , he's hoping there will be something next year.
Rumours of Flea joining them were completely UNTRUE. Rod wanted his bass player to play with them ( he did rehearsed with them in november 2008 ) and Ian wanted Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols as a replacement for the late Ronnie Lane.
Funny that Ian is mentionning Glen , i've talked with him a few years ago and he told me how much he loves the Faces and the Small Faces. and he's good friend with Ian.

Lionel Richie @ Bercy Paris April 28th 2009

Lionel Richie @ Paris Bercy
April 28th 2009

Bercy is far from being full tonight , it's an all seated concert , there's a huge gap between blocks and black curtains in the back to cover empty seats. Maybe less than 10 000 out of 17 000.
A french female singer opened the show, nice voice but nobody seemed to care.

Lionel Richie ( without T ) is a ladies singer and believe me, there are lots of them tonight , most of them in their 20's and 30's and all very georgous.
It's a festival of beautiful girls enough to keep me busy before the start of the show at 9:30 PM.

Lionel started the show with " easy" alone on the piano , then they opened the black curtains , there's a couple of screens in the back.
With Lionel Richie , you can expect lots of hits from his solo career and from The Commodores : " Hello " , Say you say me " , " 3 times a lady" ( here on video ) ...
We also had his new single " Just go" but the girls are here to hear the hits.

Lionel as always is very communicative with the audience and in a joyfull mood.
Once again the security ( what a bunch of fucking morons ) pissed off everyone down the front asking people to sit down while Lionel was asking them to get up and dance.
For the first half the audience was very quiet then they started to get into it.
Lionel is walking the stage , playing with his bass and guitar player down the front several times.
Musically all the songs are not that good , there are lots of very easy-listening kind of songs.

" Dancing on the ceiling " and , of course the last song of the show , " All night long " were well received.
Overall good show but it's way too soft for me.

" Three times a lady" :

TELEPATHE @ C'est Lenoir Black Session Radio France Paris April 27th 2009

Telepathe @ "C'est Lenoir" Radio France
Black Session n° 298 April 27th 2009

After seeing The Veils at L' album de la semaine we went to the other side of Paris to see Telepathe with my friend Mathilde who drag me with her.
Never heard of that band too.
Of course we were 10 min late and the show had already started.
It's not really a band but more a duet , two girls in front of keyboards and electronic machines and some percussions.
Needless to tell you I hate that shit, not because they're bad , i'm sure that people who are digging this music like them. It's just not my cup of tea at all.

Here's a video of their last song, for you to judge, if you're into electronic music. It's a treat as they said that they never played it before.
